The document is a passage from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland describing a conversation between a mouse and a cat named Fury. In the conversation, Fury proposes taking the mouse to trial for an unspecified offense, saying he will act as both judge and jury. The mouse objects that such a trial would be unfair without an actual jury or judge. Fury insists he will try the whole case himself and condemn the mouse to death.

2. "It _is_ a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking
down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; "but why do you
call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the
Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was
something like this:----"Fury said to
a mouse, That
he met in the
house, `Let
us both go
to law: _I_
will prose-
cute _you_.--
Come, I'll
take no de-
nial: We
must have
the trial;
For really
this morn-
ing I've
nothing
to do.'
Said the
mouse to
the cur,
`Such a
trial, dear
sir. With
no jury
or judge,
would
be wast-
ing our
breath.'
`I'll be
judge,
I'll be
jury,'
said
cun-
ning
old
Fury:
`I'll
try
the
whole
cause,

death'."
